Red Chain

Core series

• The Red Chain is first mentioned by Cogita , who says it could be used to stop the space-time rift above Mount Coronet. The player travels to each of Hisui 's three lakes and receives a material required to craft the chain from each of the lake guardians: Azelf's Fang , Uxie's Claw , and Mesprit's Plume . Bringing these materials to the Shrouded Ruins will allow the lake guardians to craft the Red Chain for the player. With the chain in hand, the player then climbs to the summit of Mount Coronet.
• Depending on whether the player went to search for the materials with Adaman or Irida , either Dialga or Palkia will appear at the Temple of Sinnoh . However, when the player attempts to use the Red Chain to stop it, the artifact is broken to pieces. After the player has caught the Legendary Pokémon, its counterpart appears and forces the player to retreat.
• Following a hint received from the Legendary Pokémon the player caught, Professor Laventon uses the fragments of the Red Chain, combined with a sample of the Origin Ore , to craft the Origin Ball , which the player later uses to catch the other Legendary Pokémon at the Temple of Sinnoh.
